Complete nucleotide sequence of a highly infectious avian leukosis virus

Nucleotide Sequence Analysis of S1 Gene among Iranian Avian Infectious Bronchitis Viruses Isolated during 2001-2002

Infectious bronchitis (IB) virus genome codes for four structural proteins, among which the S1 subunit of spike glycoprotein comprises the major epitopes to induce neutralizing antibodies. This study involved the comparison of the full S1 sequences of five IB viruses, namely two Massachusetts and three 793/B serotypes, isolated from IB outbreaks during 2001-2002, with all other Iranian an...

Complete Genome Sequence of an American Avian Leukosis Virus Subgroup J Isolate That Causes Hemangiomas and Myeloid Leukosis

We report the complete genome sequence of avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) isolate PDRC-59831, which causes myeloid leukosis and hemangiomas in chickens. This is an American ALV-J isolate, which was found in a 38-week-old broiler breeder chicken on a farm in Georgia in 2007.

Avian Leukosis Virus

Ultrastructural studies of chick embryo cells morphological ly altered by strain MC29 avian leukosis virus revealed marked and characteristic differences from normal cells and cells al tered by infection with other avian tumor viruses. Such differ ences were manifest in part in the cytoplasm by high content of free ribosomes, poorly developed rough endoplasmic reticu lum, frequent fat droplets,...
